By Love Serve One Another

This year I'm starting another Bible Verse Journal along with my friends on Christian Card Makers.  We did this project back in 2016 and it was so gratifying.  Each Monday a scripture for the week is posted and we are to complete an image relative to the scripture and then journal a little about what the scripture means to us or what our feelings are concerning it. 

For my cover, I selected an image from last year's calendar from Friendly Inspirations.  It of course was larger than my journal so I scanned it, removed the color and reduced it to fit the front cover.  The coloring was done using my Copic markers; I added the blue matting before securing to the book.  

Today I'm sharing the scripture for the week of January 9th, You Are the Light of the World, Matthew 5:14.

I've used an image from Beccy's Place, Lamp and Quill.  This was a freebie from her June 2022 newsletter and worked perfectly for this scripture. 

After enlarging to fit my journal, I printed the image on Neenah 110# cardstock and used Copic markers for coloring.  The beautiful edge 'stitching' was achieved using Penny Black's  Elegant Stitching die set.   I added the burgundy matting and secured in my journal. 

I hope that I will stay focused on this project throughout the year.  I'll be sharing more of my pages also.
